Heart Rate Programs

HEART

RATE

These programs (except Speed HRC) adjust the incline to maintain your heart rate within two beats per minute of the target heart rate while you exercise. To use these programs, you must enter your age and wear a chest strap or grasp the touch-sensitive handrail grips so your heart rate can be monitored throughout the session. Refer to Table 5 for more information about the heart rate programs.

Important: Consult your physician to determine the appropriate target heart rate for your age and fitness level. If your physician recommends a different target heart rate than the one that appears on the display, use the OPTIONS key to change your target heart rate while exercising. Do not exercise over the recommended range of 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate.

Heart Rate Program Tips

The Heart Rate programs enhance your overall cardiovascular fitness levels to help you achieve your weight loss and fitness goals. Read through the following tips before selecting a program. These tips provide general information regarding how the programs function. For more information and exercise suggestions, refer to the Precor web site at www.precor.com.

•Each program provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this time, you may change the incline or speed, but you cannot change to a distance or calorie goal. At the end of the warm-up period, the program automatically controls the incline. Pressing the INCLINE arrow keys has no affect.

Note: When your target heart rate is achieved or the

3-minute period elapses, the warm-up period ends and the program begins.
